It’s amazing in this world of highly interactive video media that the animated GIF is still so dang popular. I’ve mentioned From Me To You and If we don’t, remember me before, which is the cream of the crop. For a more bit more humor, however, Animals Being Jerks and this huge collection on reddit of classics should be bookmarked.

What The Heck Is That Thing?
I was editing a craigslist posting and got this in my confirmation captcha:
How am I supposed to type that? My keyboard doesn’t have the “Creepy Face” button. Must be a Mac thing…
(Yes, I know that craigslist uses the great reCAPTCHA service and really only needs me to recognize the second word, before anybody starts railing on me for that.)
Update: I’m an idiot. I didn’t even look at it at an angle as Burton pointed out — it’s just an inverse letter “a” plopped on its side.
You Must Stay In The Bike Lane
It’s the law!
All Roads Lead To Philosophy
The ALT text for xkcd comics are always entertaining, but the ALT text for this comic caught my attention:
Wikipedia trivia: if you take any article, click on the first link in the article text not in parentheses or italics, and then repeat, you will eventually end up at "Philosophy".
And they’re absolutely right. I clicked around on several random articles, and everything eventually leads back to “philosophy.”
Michael Buble’s Reaction Is Priceless
There’s a bit of naughty language in this, but it’s worth it:
The kid has a YouTube channel and a lot of potential (and he’s now going to be famous — for at least 15 minutes — for this clip).
Reading And Watching Material
- Apparently there’s a dating site made for Apple fans (down at the moment).
- TicketMaster sucks.
- Your new favorite email tool since the spam filter: Inbox Influence is a new tool from the Sunlight Foundation that allows you to see the political contributions of the people and organizations that are mentioned in emails you receive.
- Maybe one of these days I’ll install a twitter client (since I rarely go to their site) so I can remember to read folks like this guy.
- Why Windows 8 is fundamentally flawed as a response to the iPad.
- Looking for gift ideas? Shut up and take my money can help.
- What do you wish customer’s knew?
- Teen’s dad spends school year waving at bus, wearing different costumes daily, embarrassing son. Naturally, blogs his daily costume changes.
- If I ever got a cover letter like this, I’d hire the guy on the spot.
- Google apps could soon stop working in your browser.
Some videos after the jump…
Preach It, Brother
‘The Kardashians’ have now been on the air twice as long as ‘Arrested Development.’ THIS IS WHY YOU CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS, AMERICA.
Truer words have never been spoken.
And you can tell how little of a rip I give: When I was reading this to a co-worker, I mis-pronounced Kardashians. I’ve never seen their show, never will, not losing sleep over it. But I’m still miffed that Arrested Development wasn’t given the treatment it deserved.
Where’s The Mute Button?
The Improv Everywhere folks found it.
Full back story over on their site.
People Is Dumb
The Onion is one of the web’s oldest satire sites out there (and easily the funniest), and people still think it’s real news.
